right before the building collapsed, firefighters (within the World Trade City Tower) reported *minimal fires in the
WTC Tower which they could quickly and easily extinguish. (Documented FDNY Firefighters Tapes)
Another lie........
Report is from Battalion Chief Orio Palmer about 78 floor in South Tower who is giving situation for that floor
78 floor was a sky lobby with most of the floor dedicated to elevator machinery . Floors covered with tile, no carpet
Not a lot to burn
Bulk of the fire was above them on 79 to 84
In February of 2002 Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties' estimated investment in WTC Building 7 was $386 million.
So.......This building's collapse resulted in a profit of about $500 million!
Construction was completed in 2006 at a cost of $700 million. Though Silverstein received $861 million from insurance on the old building, he owed more than $400 million on its mortgage. Costs to rebuild were covered by $475 million in Liberty Bonds, which provide tax-exempt financing to help stimulate rebuilding in Lower Manhattan and insurance money that remained after other expenses.

Much of the building was pulverized, the non reinforced concrete was also, it all was for that matter, all that was left was the largest steel beams, and the rest of the steel. AS far as impacting lower floors read this again.
Thanks, I was looking for that, sums it up very well.. star for you..

What is irrelevant ....??
Poster was saying there were only small fire ......
Problem was the fire fighters had only reached one floor in impact area and were reporting only what they saw on that floor
The fires were above them
Like standing on deck of Titanic and saying "what's all the fuss, I dont see any water...."
quickly reflect again that a criminal sinful action had taken place

Silverstein owed 400 million on mortgage for WTC 7 which had to pay off
Then had to rebuild WTC 7 which cost 700 million
Lets see 861 - 400 = 461
building costs 700 million......
Looks like little short....

t is reduced to rubble as it expends energy, in the case of the towers it is ejected up, out and away from the building as evident in the observation..

So last night we looked at how Newtons 3rd law is effectively use to demolish buildings without explosives.
(For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction)
Remove the middle floor and let the top block fall and destroy the next floor while equally destroying a floor on the top block.
A 41 story building will start with 20 floors, then 19 then 18 and so on. As the collapse progresses it slows down as the weight of the falling part of the building destroys itself and it's mass is reduced until there is nothing left and the process stops.
So now that we know how that works lets apply it to the north tower.
There was a lot going on at the initiation of collapse but for now lets ignore that.
The impact zone was between the 93rd and 99th floor.
That left 11 floors above. However there was a TV Antenna on the north tower so for now lets say there were 20 floors
to account for the extra weight.
If we are to believe the OS and this was a gravity driven collapse what would we see. We saw how Newtons 3rd worked.
So we would see the top block fall into the lower and take out a floor while loosing a floor. Then the remaining 19 floors
would take out another floor, then 18 and so on until the upper block had destroyed itself somewhere around the 65th floor.
At this time the upper block would be gone and the energy would have dissipated and the process would have stopped. In the end we would be left with a partial collapse.
That is what the 3rd law dictates, the laws of physics are never wrong.
However that is not what was observed, what was observed is the top block falling into the bottom block, first problem, when they meet there should have been a reduction in speed, if only for a moment, less than a second even just a fraction of.
Instead we see the lower block give way offering no resistance what so ever. In fact we observe the collapse accelerate and continue to accelerate almost all the way to ground level. And again past the 65th floor there would be no upper block to provide the energy for the collapse.
This observation defies all laws of physics and could not possible happen with out the presence of another source of energy.
In the case of the south tower this observation is even more significant as the top block began to fall over to the side of the building ( 1st Law) this would removed the energy even faster and the process would have stopped. Instead it continued also with acceleration without any or very little source of energy. However it did so where did that energy come from..
This is why the OS cannot be true, it is also the reason NIST did not investigate the collapse itself. It is the only valid hypothesis they could offer and it would not fit the preconceived narrative. And that’s why it was not done..
Now taking that into consideration the evidence becomes more obvious. As stated for the north tower the top block would no longer exist after the 65th floor, so where is the pile driver compressing the air to create the squibs seen on the 20th, 30th 40th and 50th floors.. there is none so the excuse of compressed air cannot be true either.. that’s one example
Now flame away folks...
I just debunked that, sorry.. fire and impact damage is irrelevant to what was observed..
Indications of the Imminent Collapse of the World Trade Center Buildings Disprove Explosives Theory
Scientists investigating the Sept. 11, 2001 collapse of the twin towers said, "the World Trade Center towers showed telltale signs they were about to collapse several minutes before each crumbled to the ground." There would not be telltale signs if it was explosives (Controlled Demolition) that caused the buildings to collapse.

right before the building collapsed, firefighters (within the World Trade City Tower) reported *minimal fires in the
WTC Tower which they could quickly and easily extinguish. (Documented FDNY Firefighters Tapes)
Larry Silverstein, the controller of the destroyed WTC complex, stated plainly in a PBS documentary that he and the FDNY decided jointly to demolish WTC 7 late in the afternoon of 9/11.
World Trade Center Building 7 was "Pulled" (purposely professionally demolished)
The structural engineering community rejects the controlled-demolition conspiracy theory
Its consensus is that the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings was a fire-induced, gravity-driven collapse, an explanation that does not involve the use of explosives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thomas Eagar, a professor of materials science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, also dismissed the controlled-demolition conspiracy theory. Eagar remarked, "These people (in the 9/11 truth movement) use the 'reverse scientific method.'
They determine what happened, throw out all the data that doesn't fit their conclusion, and then hail their findings as the only possible conclusion."

Letter from FDNY Chief Daniel Nigro
4. numerous fires on many floors of WTC 7 burned without sufficient water supply to attack them.
For these reasons I made the decision (without consulting the owner, the mayor or anyone else - as ranking fire officer, that decision was my responsibility) to clear a collapse zone surrounding the building and to stop all activity within that zone. Approximately three hours after that order was given, WTC 7 collapsed.
Conspiracy theories abound and I believe firmly that all of them are without merit.
Regards, Dan Nigro
Chief of Department FDNY (retired)

Did you even read what I posted? it fell onto each floor until it was gone, in the process it was ejected until nothing was left. Thats where the natural gravity collapse stopped, and evidence of something else became evident.
You are correct and science proved this. However there are some people who will not except this fact on ATS, because it does not support the OS narratives.
You will never changed their minds to real science. Pseudo science is what is supported by OS supporters. Because the government said so, and we all they never lie.
